In the evening, in the small courtyard where Nie Xiaohu lived, under a lush tree, there was a round stone table, on which were placed a roast chicken, a plate of braised beef, a few exquisite side dishes and two jars of wine, Nie Xiaohu, Cao Xiaohui, Tang Yibin, Shi Yuning, Mao Guangjian and Liu Zhenxiao were sitting around the stone table, and everyone was happily pulling around.

"I said Xiao Liuzi, I said that everyone will drink together, everyone has to bring something, I brought good wine, Hutouer brought beef, Xiao Maozi brought roast chicken, Cao Zhutou also personally cooked a few side dishes, why did you come empty-handed?" , Shi Wei glanced at Liu Zhenxiao.

"Who said I didn't bring anything?" , Liu Zhenxiao pursed his mouth.

"What did you bring, why didn't I see it?" , Shi Yuning frowned and looked around.

"I'm here with an alcohol addiction!" , Liu Zhenxiao said confidently.

"Holy!" , Nie Xiaohu and the others instantly turned over from the stool.

"Come on, come on, taste the good wine I brought, authentic Zhejiang Shaoxing daughter red!" , Shi Yuning said happily while pouring wine into everyone's bowl.

"Do you know that this daughter is red and has an allusion?" , Shi Yuning asked mysteriously.

Nie Xiaohu and the others all shook their heads.

"Then I'll tell you!" Shi Yuning smiled with satisfaction and said, "In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, there is a local custom that whenever a daughter is born in the family, two jars of daughter red must be buried in the courtyard of the child on the day of the child's birth, and the wine will be taken out as a dowry for the daughter on the day of the daughter's marriage." ”

"I see!" , Nie Xiaohu and the others all nodded.

"Come on, let's try this authentic fifty-year-old daughter red!" , Shi Yuning picked up the wine bowl.

"Poof!" , Cao Xiaohui just drank a mouthful of wine in her mouth, and the scene was suddenly silent, a little weirdly quiet.

It was getting dark, and the two jars of daughter red also saw the bottom, and just when everyone was still talking and laughing, a catcher walked in.

"There is a woman outside who asks to see her, saying that she has something important."

"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly, "Who could it be so late?" ”

Cao Xiaohui on the side looked at Nie Xiaohu with a smile, and there was an indescribable brilliance in her eyes.

"What's that woman's name?"

"She said her name was Ouyang Linlin and she was from out of town."

"Ouyang Linlin?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows furrowed even tighter.

"What, Brother Hu, do you know this Ouyang Linlin?" , Cao Xiaohui still maintained a smile on her face.

"I don't know, I've never heard of it", Nie Xiaohu shook his head.

Suddenly, Nie Xiaohu stood up, "Let's go, take a look!" ”

"I've seen adults", in the hall, a woman bowed to Nie Xiaohu.

Nie Xiaohu frowned and carefully observed the woman, only to see that this person had a parrot bun on her head, and her hair was covered with all kinds of gold and jade hair accessories, and her head clanged when she shook her head; a pair of red phoenix eyes, with pink eyebrows; The face was coated with a thick layer of lead powder, and a thick layer of rouge was applied to the powder; Scarlet lip grease, with Hua Tian on both sides of the lips and oblique red on the cheeks.

The upper body is wearing a light blue silk shirt, the shoulders are draped with light gauze and silver mud curtains, and the lower body is a pink floor-length skirt with the waist tied to the armpits, a necklace on the chest, and a ruby pendant shining under the light.

"This woman looks like a rich person when she dresses up, but no matter how awkward she looks, she always feels a little indecent, she looks like a beauty, but unfortunately she doesn't know how to wear makeup, and her face is painted like a monkey's buttocks", Nie Xiaohu smiled heavily.

"What's your name? What's the matter with me? ", Nie Xiaohu asked.

"The slave family's surname is Ouyang, and his name is Linlin, and he came here from Shanxi with his husband, and he has only been in Luoyang for more than a month."

Ouyang Linlin said softly: "My lord, the husband of the slave family has encountered an annoying thing recently, someone wants his life, I am very worried about this, so I came to ask for my lord's help." ”

"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu leaned forward and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Here's the thing, my husband's name is Tan Junhao, he is a leather businessman, I followed my husband to Luoyang a month ago, and bought a house here to live, in Luoyang we are not familiar with each other, and there is no relatives and friends.

Just three days ago one evening, my husband and I had tea in a teahouse, and it was nothing, but then a person came to the teahouse, and this person sat down on a table behind me, that is, opposite my husband, and my husband looked at the man, and his face changed greatly, as if he was very scared, and he left the teahouse without saying a word.

When I got home, I asked my husband what had happened, and he didn't say anything, but said that he had met an enemy and he was worried that that person would come to him for trouble, and even hurt his life. ”

"That's it?" , Nie Xiaohu couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

"If that's the case, I don't dare to come and disturb the adults," Ouyang Linlin said.

"Could it be that the man really came to the door?"

"Yes", Ouyang Linlin nodded, and the hair ornament on her head made a pleasant jingle sound.

"Just last night, around midnight, a man in black entered the yard through the backyard door of my house, and Liu's mother, who happened to be cooking at my house, was going to the backyard to dump sundries, and the two collided, and the man saw that he was found, so he hurriedly fled.

Mother Liu found a dagger on the pillar in front of the back door, and a letter was inserted on the dagger, which read, 'Altar, your time of death has come'. ”

"Is there such a thing?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly, "Did you see the appearance of that person at that time, was it the person you met in the teahouse?" ”

"I didn't see it, I was reading a book on the third floor at the time, and I only went downstairs when I heard Liu's mother's shouting."

"What about your husband?"

"My husband hasn't come home yet, he goes out every day to hang out, and he won't come home until he arrives."

"What about Mother Liu, can she see it clearly?"

"She saw it clearly, and as far as she could tell, the man looked almost exactly like the one she had met in the teahouse that day, and my husband was sure that it was his enemy, and he became even more frightened."

"Then what kind of grudge does your husband have against that person?"

"My husband didn't talk about this, but he just said that the man had a grudge against his father, who was my father-in-law, and now that my father-in-law has long since passed away, that man has found my husband's head."
